Love was located hiding in a men’s bathroom inside a grocery store on the 5700 block of Ogeechee Road after reports of her vehicle being parked outside the business.

Love was arrested for a Sept. 5 incident, after a father reportedly went to a home to visit his 4-year-old son. The father was greeted by the mother of the child, Jill Love, 32 at her sister, Amy Sanders' home in the 200 block of Waycross Road.

Metro Officers say Love refused to allow visitation, but the father managed to get past Love to find the child bound, using a crab trap and line, as well as industrial tape placed over his mouth.

The father managed to remove the child from the home and call police. The child suffered minor injuries and is in good physical condition.

Investigators obtained arrest warrants for both Love and Sanders on September 9. Sanders is charged with felony cruelty to children in the first degree and was served her warrant at the Chatham County Detention Center where she was serving time on an unrelated charge.
